Chapter 8: The True Lies
Since Qi Yufei wanted to use Zhao Ping, he had to know Zhao Ping's details, and when he saw that Zhao Ping was dressed neatly, he asked.
"What is your name, you are so here, don't say anything stupid about being robbed by robbers, why are the robbed people so delicate*. As he spoke, he glanced at the folding crossbow that was still on the ground by Zhao Ping.
Hearing Young Master Qi's question, Zhao Ping was also stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
If a lie is not revealed, it must be sustained by countless lies, and eventually when people ignore the loopholes in the lie, the lie becomes the truth.
Although Zhao Ping is a little clever, he is not a professional liar, and he has no ability to turn lies into truth.
Besides, the little white face in front of him doesn't look like a foolish master, if he can't justify himself and win his trust, then he will have to die.
Of course, Zhao Ping can also excuse himself by saying that his head injury caused him to lose his memory, so as to push everything off and let himself start over.
It's a pity that the idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel, Zhao Ping traveled through the Xianxia plane, not the Korean drama world, and the amnesia set will not work at all.
Looking at Qi Yufei's cold eyes, Zhao Ping didn't even have the courage to speak, and it took a long time to say hesitantly.
"The surname of the contemptible person is Zhao, the name is Ping, the word Tanzhi, the ancestor was originally a person from the Central Plains, and his hometown suffered a major drought, and his great-grandfather fled with his family in order to survive.
I happened to meet a caravan of Hu people, so I followed them to the Western Regions and took root. My Zhao family has no land in a foreign country, and they have no support, so they can only do some small business to make a living.
By my father's generation, he was already in the third generation, and he had made a living from business, but he had accumulated some floating wealth, but he was targeted by a local nobleman.
In order to rob my family's property, I arrested my family on a random charge. I happened to go out with a caravan and narrowly escaped, but my family was killed by some nobleman.
In order to avoid the pursuit of the nobles, I could only flee back to my homeland with a few henchmen, but the misfortune was not only that I met the strongman who cut the path as soon as I arrived here, and not only robbed me of my last belongings, but also killed my retinue.
Fortunately, seeing that the situation was not good, I took off my clothes and jumped into the stream over there, and I pity the servants of my centers who died at the hands of the robbers. By the time I got away from the robbers and landed safely, I was left with this self-defense*. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Ping couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart, and he really had red circles under his eyes and left a few tears.
Qi Yufei, who had been observing Zhao Ping's demeanor, was sure that Zhao Ping's account did not seem to be fake, and this strange man was indeed really sad, so he nodded and motioned for Zhao Ping to continue.
Seeing that Qi Yufei was not suspicious of his lies, Zhao Ping took a long breath and finally let him get away with it.
Zhao Ping wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and continued: "After that, I had no long things, so I hid in the grass in order to find some food, but I happened to meet Childe. ”
At this point, all the causal chains have made sense, as for those obvious loopholes, the young master Qi who has a lot of opportunities has no time to verify it, and he doesn't want to waste manpower to investigate Zhao Ping's origin.
Maybe those who were sent to investigate had already died before they could confirm the truth of what Zhao Ping said.
Of course, a convincing lie must be at least seven parts true and three points false, so that the liar can justify himself and others cannot be exposed immediately.
So what Zhao Ping said was not all true, Zhao Ping's great-grandfather really couldn't survive in his hometown back then, so he fled with his family.
However, he did not move from the Central Plains to Xinjiang, but took a boat from Shandong to the Northeast and joined the tide of breaking into the eastern part of the country.
When he first arrived in Kanto, he had no way to make a living, and in order to make a living, his great-grandfather walked the streets and alleys with a flat pole, selling some needles and threads.
The merchant's life was hard and he didn't earn much money, but when Zhao Ping's grandfather participated in the work schedule, he filled in the composition of the petty bourgeoisie, and he was almost criticized during the special period.
This really wronged Zhao Ping's grandfather, although Zhao Ping's family did a small business but didn't make any money, barely enough to make ends meet, and Zhao Ping's family still lived in the slums of the city.
It is precisely because his family is not wealthy that Zhao Ping chose to stay in the big city after being admitted to university and returned to Guannai for development.
But Zhao Ping's life after that was also mentioned earlier, these ant clans who work hard in big cities are just talking dogs in the eyes of the boss.
This is also why Zhao Ping said that later, he was really sad from his heart and unconsciously left tears. This is not only an outlet for the hard life of the past, but also a fear of the unknown future.
Of course, there is another point that Zhao Ping is gambling, betting that this world has a great relationship with his original earth world, and even this world is the ancient world of the earth world, and it is also a parallel world at the most.
Because the language spoken by the natives of this world is the Chinese language that Zhao Ping understands, although it is not Mandarin, it also has some taste of the northwest dialect, at least Zhao Ping can understand and say two sentences decently.
Even the clothes and styles they wore were seen in costume films, so Zhao Ping said that he was from the Western Regions and his ancestral home was in the Central Plains to strengthen the credibility of the lie, but as for the specific place name, Zhao Ping didn't dare to say more.
After all, since the Han Dynasty, the meaning of the "Western Regions" and "Central Plains" has not changed, although I don't know which dynasty it is now, but Zhao Ping saw that Qi Yufei's horse was equipped with stirrups, it must have been after the Han Dynasty.
Although the facts are very different from Zhao Ping's conjecture, fortunately, the geography of this world is the same as that of the earth, and in the case of language communication, Zhao Pingmeng is really right.
made Qi Yufei believe Zhao Ping's words for the time being, but just when Qi Yufei was going to let Zhao Ping go, he also wanted to keep him by his side as a small guy to carry one or two. Suddenly, a figure rushed out of the woods in the distance, it was Qin Yu, who had just escaped from the bandits.
When Qin Yu, who was fleeing for his life in a hurry, saw Young Master Qi, instead of a trace of panic, he quickly rushed here. Facing Qin Yu, who was running towards him with a weapon, Grand Young Master Qi not only did not feel the slightest nervousness, but instead showed a smile.
Because Qin Yu's true identity was originally a spy sent to the Heavenly Sword Gate by the Famous Sword Villa, this time the Great Young Master Qi came to this barren mountain and wilderness on horseback, just to connect with Qin Yu and convey the instructions for the next mission.
It's a pity that because of the robbery and killing of these unknown characters, Qin Yu's identity was exposed in advance, although all the people in the Heavenly Sword Gate were dead, no one would go back to report the news. However, those who robbed and killed the Heavenly Sword Gate saw the scene of Qin Yu framing the deputy head of the sect in order to survive and flee for his life alone.
At this time, it was not known where these martial arts masters who pretended to be robbers came from, even if the other party did not know Qin Yu's true identity, and he did not know that Qin Yu was a spy sent by the Famous Sword Villa.
But Qin Yu was still seen in the scene of injuring the elders of the sect in order to escape for his own life, which was a certain death in any sect.
Even if those people didn't spread the word about it due to their identities, just saying that Qin Yu went back alive and that everyone else, including the deputy head, was dead, it was enough to make the Heavenly Sword Sect suspicious of him.
At present, it seems that Qin Yu's undercover mission has completely failed, and it is meaningless to lurk, but it will cause unnecessary trouble.
